Fantastic song from when the youth of the day realised that sticking together was actually a better idea than allowing themselves to be divided. The music of 1977-1982 will never be topped. Punk, ska, mod, 2 Tone. I didn't realise how lucky we were.

I miss rock. Punk was perfect timing, when rock was going soft and disco came along. Punk got us through it. Yes, I know some people don’t think The Clash was punk…new wave, they say…but they were political and became famous enough to communicate their views to the masses. Grunge/alt rock had their roots in punk and saved rock once again. Who will save us now?
